Well beaten in three maidens but much improved in first-time blinkers on handicap debut at Galway in October, making up good ground inside final furlong to win going away (7f, heavy); hammered with 13lb rise for that but seems likely to improve further at 1m and has to be respected on AW debut. |

Good record over 6f on straight tracks and on easy ground; was second in C&D nursery at two, but there will probably be stronger finishers up the hill; jockey is one to watch. |

Unseen for over a year after finishing in midfield in a Navan 5f handicap in April last year (soft); down 12lb compared to that and this is a lower grade, so worth a look in the market. |

79-rated gelding won twice in June at Cork and Leopardstown, both over 1m on nice ground; midfield on soft to heavy at the Curragh latest (1m) and has hinted that this sort of trip might suit, though he's not bred for it. |
9/2 |
|
4 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Has enjoyed a fine campaign; back to back wins in June saw him go up 13lb but he has continued to acquit himself well; another sound run in a Killarney rated race latest (1m, good); probably doesn't want it too soft. |
15/2 |
|
4 (5) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Both wins on goodish ground but versatile as regards conditions as it was yielding to soft when second in a 1m handicap at Galway where three of today's rivals were behind; came from well off the pace that day so it was some effort. |

Usually a front-runner; doesn't have the best of strike-rates (2-22) but three good runs in blinkers at Ayr (1m; all on good to firm; has form on good to soft) in June and he stays this trip; a possible. |
5/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer; galvanised by first-time blinkers when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and although he has been expensive to follow since, he has still performed with great credit; the headgear was left off at Ayr last week but returns today; big run expected. |
9/2 |

Handles all surfaces; many good runs on turf over the last year, making all in first-time blinkers here (1m, good to firm) in July and two solid efforts since; headgear left off now tackling 7f for the first time since 2yo days in Ireland but has another good run in him. |

Had a visor on for the first time when finishing runner-up at Carlisle (1m3f, good) in July and went one better at Southwell (1m3f, AW) four weeks ago, gaining his first success for this stable; a 3lb rise looks fair. |

Sole win came at Navan (1m2f, good) last April when trained by Joseph O'Brien; ran his best race since joining current stable when second of five at Carlisle (1m3f, good; first-time visor) last month but his task will now be to back that up. |

Won a Navan handicap for Joseph O'Brien last spring but suffered a succession of fairly hefty defeats on the Flat and over hurdles for this yard, including when beaten nearly 20l over C&D last month when back from a nine-week break; visor given a whirl. |

0-14 starts but some promise shown in defeat; hit the frame three times here this year over 7f ; he was just 1.25l behind Eric Lock at Down Royal in May (7f) and again ran positively at Limerick next time when third (1m); below par at Bellewstown last time; he's on a lower mark now compared to his good runs here earlier in the year. |
